DEMING (SE), ALGER & MADERA HOST HPDs

USAC HPD Midgets compete in Western Pavement and Washington races this week. Friday’s race at Deming (Wash.) Speedway is a non-points “special event” but Saturday’s race at Skagit Speedway in Alger, Wash. offers full Washington points. Saturday’s race at Madera (Calif.) Speedway for the Western Pavement series is part of an event which also includes the Honda USAC Western Pavement and BCRA Midgets.

Chase Goetz (Washington) and Shawn Buckley (Western Pavement) enter the weekend as the respective series point leaders.

Scott Hunter of Wald Lake, Mich. passed Nikki Carroll on the final lap to win Saturday night’s 20-lap USAC HPD Eastern Midget feature at Caraway Speedway. Calvin Carroll led the first 18 laps, then Nikki Carroll led one before yielding to Hunter. Matthew Lundstrom took second on the final lap and was followed by Nikki Carroll, Calvin Carroll and Dillon Silverman.
